The right thing to do

September 19, 2011

The World Bank’s report on gender equality titled »The right and smart thing to do« shows that blocking females is not only wrong, but economically harmful as well.

The data shows that countries with better opportunities for women and girls boost productivity and development. On the other hand, preventing women working in certain occupations cut the productivity and harms the economy.

Gender equality is, following the findings by the World Bank, obviously shrewd economics as well as beneficial for human rights.
